Builds secure, standards-compliant WordPress plugins with hooks, REST API endpoints, custom post types, and defensive database queries.

WordPress Plugin Core provides comprehensive architectural blueprints, security patterns, and best practices for developing professional WordPress plugins. It enforces crucial defensive coding standards—including input sanitization, output escaping, nonce verification, capability checks, and prepared database queries—to proactively prevent critical vulnerabilities like SQL injection, CSRF, and XSS. Whether architecting simple single-file utilities, object-oriented plugins, or modern PSR-4 autoloaded solutions, this skill equips developers with production-tested boilerplate for custom post types, Settings API pages, REST endpoints, and automated update pipelines.
